    Comments: In some languages it is possible to describe a typical foundation in ancient times as ‘large stones underneath the walls.’ In other languages, however, this may seem to be quite a meaningless type of expression, since foundations are only made secure by driving stakes deep into the ground. Therefore, it may be best to describe the function of a foundation by ‘what keeps the walls firm’ or ‘how the walls are made not to move’ or ‘what goes beneath the walls.’|A number of scholars, however, prefer to understand ἐνδώμησις in the context of {S:06602101800006} as the material of which the wall was made, rather than as the foundation of the wall (see {L:ἐνδώμησις}[a], {D:7.77}).
